Premiership: Two squads in reasonably good shape get together for this game. Aberdeen could have a slight upper hand with their 3rd spot in the table?
- Hibernian have not yet lost a game at home.
- Aberdeen have scored more than double the goals of Hibernian.
Hibernian and Aberdeen should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Hibernian form and stats
Hibernian have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Premiership. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
Hibernian's previous game was also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Kilmarnock (placed 11th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Finally, a league victory after four games without one. Newell (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.23/10. Newell scored one goal, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 32 successful passes (of 39 total).
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting St. Mirren (0-1).This is expected to be a close game, with Hibernian perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hibernian as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Hibernian has won 2 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.
Hibernian has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches.
Aberdeen form and stats
Aberdeen are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premiership, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).
Aberdeen has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Ross County for a 1-1 draw. As mentioned above, Aberdeen drew the match against Ross County. Manager Goodwin brought on Duk to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked. Coulson, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.31. Coulson won 13 of 20 duels.
Before that, the League Cup victory away at Annan Athletic (after extra-time). So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Aberdeen playing away and similar expectations, we found 7 relevant matches. Results were 2 Aberdeen wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats.
The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game.
Head 2 Head
Hibernian-Aberdeen H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Hibernian four wins, Aberdeen five wins, one draw. three of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
